The official FD1 video is still with me.

There is about 1.5hrs of highlight footage.

I was out of the country for 4 weeks because of some honeymoon thingo.

Ive been trying to convert the damn thing to dvd with no sucess. I seem to be loosing way to much quality in the picture - and i was not happy with the final product.

Anyway im on to plan 69 and think i should be able to get it converted to dvd with practically no loss.

As soon as its done ill burn up the 30+ copies for the guys who attended the FD1.

Sorry for the delay.

The time has come good people. I have the final DVD's from FD1 (Fatz's Private drift Day - Oran Park 24/01/2004).

Participants of FD1 contact your local Fatz supplier for delivery of your complementary copy:)

(At the latest you can all get them from Fatz at FD2 on the 01/05/2004).

Sorry about the huge delay. Ive had to rely on a few favours from a few people to go through the steps of getting this to DVD. And i hate hassling people to get the job done faster when they are doing me a favour.

After not being happy with the quality of the video to dvd transfer i moved to plan 69. Its now on DVD with practically lossless image quality.

Its 1hour and 30 minutes of highlight footage from the day.

It is impressive to watch. Most people took the first few circuits nice and easy and by the end of the day (before the rain) everyone is carving it up.

If i had more time i would play around with the DVD menu but i figured who cares. So here it is.

Now i know what needs to be done i should be able to provide the FD2 DVD's soon after the event.

Cheers

Kero

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
